A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事
Matter
Well, with the French language, which I understood and spoke, however imperfectly, and read in great quantities, at certain times, the matter I suppose was slightly different from either Latin or Greek.
我懂法语，也能说法语，尽管我说得不太好，但我读了很多，在某些时候，我觉得法语和拉丁语或希腊语有点不同。
Basketball talent is basketball talent, no matter if it comes from the suburbs or the city. Take the time to know and understand me before you judge me. Only God can do that. Roses do grow from concrete!
篮球人才就是篮球人才，不管是来自郊区还是城市。在你评价我之前，先花点时间了解和理解我。只有上帝才能做到。玫瑰确实是从混凝土中生长出来的!
Being the only non-Black was a unique experience. After a few weeks, you're not aware of skin color differences. You see the color; you're not blind, but it doesn't matter. You see the human being first.
作为唯一的非黑人是一种独特的经历。几周后，你就意识不到肤色的差异了。你看到颜色了;你不是瞎子，但没关系。你首先看到的是人。
The heart of the matter seems to me to be the direct interaction between one's making a poem in English and a poem in the language that one understands and values. I don't see how you can do it otherwise.
在我看来，问题的核心似乎是用英语写诗和用自己理解和珍视的语言写诗之间的直接互动。我不知道你怎么能不这样做。
No matter what, like, I couldn't - I could break a world record, get an Olympic gold medal, and my mom would be, like, you could have done better. But you looked pretty. That's what she says all the time.
无论如何，我不能——我可以打破世界纪录，获得奥运会金牌，我妈妈会说，你可以做得更好。但你看起来很漂亮。她总是这么说。
People can get obsessed with romance, they can get obsessed with political paranoia, they can get obsessed with horror. It's isn't the fault of the subject matter that creates the obsession, I don't think.
人们会迷恋浪漫，迷恋政治偏执，迷恋恐怖。我不认为是主题的错误造成了这种痴迷。
I try to find what is closest to me in the character. There's many sides to personality, but it's a matter of, do you entertain those specific areas of your personality, or are you afraid to entertain them?
我试图在角色中找到最接近我的东西。性格有很多方面，但问题是，你是在娱乐你性格的那些特定领域，还是害怕娱乐它们?
It is characteristic that this should take place just when it is becoming more and more clear to all who think about the matter, that technically and economically we have left the territorial state behind us.
有一个特点是，在所有考虑这个问题的人都越来越清楚地认识到，我们在技术和经济上已经把领土国家抛在身后的时候，才应该这样做。
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
我们不能设想物质是无中生有的，因为事物需要一粒种子从……因此，没有什么东西会归于虚无，而是所有的东西都回归到它们的元素中去了。
As a matter of fact they'd blacken us down. I guess there's a reason that according to what the Caucasian wanted us to look like. He wanted us to look-if we were Black, then he had his idea of what we look like.
事实上，他们会抹黑我们。我想这是有原因的根据白人想让我们看起来像什么。他想让我们看看——如果我们是黑人，那么他就知道我们长什么样。
Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter mush. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order.
不同意见的自由并不局限于无关紧要的事。那将仅仅是自由的影子。对其实质内容的检验是，有权对触及现有秩序核心的事物持不同意见。
Blue is the male principle, stern and spiritual. Yellow the female principle, gentle, cheerful and sensual. Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the colour which must be fought and vanquished by the other two.
蓝色是男性的原则，严肃而有灵性。黄色是女性的原则，温柔、开朗、感性。红色是物质，残酷而沉重，而且永远是必须被其他两种颜色打败的颜色。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

All money is a matter of belief.
所有的钱都是信仰的问题。
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.
无论你经历了多少痛苦，你都不想放弃那些记忆。
A truly appreciative child will break, lose, spoil, or fondle to death any really successful gift within a matter of minutes.
一个真正懂得欣赏的孩子会在几分钟内毁掉、失去、宠坏或爱抚任何真正成功的礼物。
It is quality rather than quantity that matters.
重要的是质量而不是数量。
Our God is not made of stone. His heart is the most sensitive and tender of all. No act goes unnoticed, no matter how insignificant or small. A cup of cold water is enough to put tears in the eyes of God. God celebrates our feeble expressions of gratitude.
我们的神不是石头做的。他的心是最敏感和最温柔的。任何行为都不会被忽视，无论多么微不足道或微不足道。一杯凉水就足以让上帝热泪盈眶。上帝赞美我们无力的感激之情。
